Re: Dual pro charger question

I have never seen a dual pro cycle like that and have had them since my first boat. I would check and see if you have a loose wire on the boat plug, could be loosing the electrical connection and starting the sequence over.

its hard to see the gauge of the wire at the circuit breaker near the batteries, so open the bow where the TM is wired into the plug or hard wired and look at the wire.
